Fall 2009 in Atlanta

The A&WP Beltline once connected the A&WP main with sister road the Georgia RR's Hulsey yard. Today it is jyst a!neglected and rarely used spur that is used a few times a week to serve Williams Brothers sand. Due to its location in Atlanta's rough southside, few railfans have bothered to shoot it. Hgre we see B40-8 5939 heading up the line at Oakland Junction infront of the Cut Rate Box factory.

We got there a few minutes too late unfortunatly, wouldve been great light.

The Devils Grain train rolls by the soon to be scrapped Pullman car as a young observer watches from the bridge

The Devils Grain train rolls through downtown Marietta.

This colorful scene will soon be no more as the car is to be scrapped very soon, asbestos removal has already begun. What a shame, it complements the scene so well

Plastic lining has been placed around the underframe as the asbestos is removed from the car before scrapping.

A scene that will soon be gone as the car is to be scrapped in the upcoming weeks....

One of 21 active B36-7's on the CSX roster highballs through Marietta with a work train, the sun was nice enough to pop out of the cloud cover to illuminate this rare catch. Also in its 11th hour is the ex- LV Tuscalora club, which is in the processes of being scrapped...

A few feet back wouldve been good but i didnt quite know where the shadows were cause the sun popped out just for this train.

First time ive done a B&W in a while, only thing that made this trash look half decent.
